Schools in Milpitas, CA

“My son went to hands on learning for 2 years, and we really liked it. The teachers are caring and loving. They focus on helping the kids eat, sleep properly and feel loved (esp in the early years). It expands to teaching (reading, writing, worksheets etc) as they grow older. Ms Lad is a very good teacher, I could see the difference in my son’s reading and writing skills. Ms Elis is a blessing, the way she hugs every kid and speaks about them positively and encouragingly, both to the kids and their parents - it makes my heart smile :)”

“We are grateful for the wonderful experience our daughter had during her one and a half years at this daycare. She was in two different classes and had many teachers, and every single one of them was exceptionally caring and attentive to her individual needs. A good example of their dedication is how they handled her drop-off crying. When the teacher noticed that food could calm her down, they began preparing a bowl of Cheerios for her every morning, no matter how late we were. Beyond the classroom, all the staff members are consistently nice and courteous. They take the time to know every child by name, and it’s clear our daughter felt comfortable and happy there. Communication with the center has always been prompt and reliable; we were immediately notified of any minor accidents that occurred. The center director is also highly responsive and quick to address any issues that arise in the classroom between kids. This professionalism and care from every level of staff made us feel completely at ease.”

“The best preschool we had! Had sent both kids to this school; and had recommended it to several friends as well. And we had been through the toughest COVID era with Elan. Still believe this is the best option for our kids, to learn, to play, to have a great preschool experience.

The part our family loves most is the giant playground for kids to play and have fun. But teachers still teach kids tons of things while it looks like all they had in school all day is fun. Elan built a great foundation for our kids to do wonderfully at Kinder and beyond. Cannot recommend this school more!”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Stepping Stone World. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated to each child’s growth. The classrooms are bright, safe, clean and full of engaging activities that spark creativity and curiosity. They provide fresh and healthy food as well.
I highly recommend this preschool.”

“My daughter went here over a year and improved alot in speaking and writing. All the teachers are really wonderful. Kids are comfortable with teachers. Very fun and academic school. Personal attention to kids.”

“My son learned so much about numbers, letters, and shapes. He learned how to socialize and make friends. He learned to share. Most of all, he learned that school is a fun and exciting place to be.Thank you for making learning fun.”

“Our child attended Achieving Stars Academy for a little over two years before starting her Kindergarten at Public School. This school was amazing. All the teachers are really active and engaged with the kiddos. My child loved it. The emphasis is on art, numbers, reading, and playing together. I’m glad we had great start to my child’s education.”

“My daughter's first ever childcare provider was LFM - she joined school as a shy (Thanks to Covid), barely speaking toddler and bloomed into a kind, considerate, talking, singing preschooler during her time there. The staff deserve a special shout-out - they were always available for a quick chat and kept us posted on day to day occurrences - my daughter felt safe & cared for and the fact that she runs to hug her teachers is testament to that bond. Even now, she asks if she will go back to Tulip sometime and join the experiments Ms.E does. Thank you for making learning fun - We couldn't have asked for a better start to her learning journey!”

“Walking into the Footsteps during our tour, we had a great first impression of this place. Everything was super clean and organized; we found the teachers (Ms. Eileen and Ms. Anu) were friendly and caring and very cooperative and responsive.We instantly decided to enroll our child, who has been attending Footsteps Preschool since Dec 2019, just after she turned two. Footsteps being her first school, she adapted quickly, thanks to the teachers who understood the toddler's needs.But then the pandemic hit. Ms. Anu and the management tried to keep the school going with remote learning to keep the children engaged. However, Our two-year-old found it challenging to adapt to the distance learning mode. The management kept us informed about their plans and decided to open in July 2020 eventually. As parents, we were unsure if it was safe, but the management ensured all COVID protocols were adhered to according to the county regulations. The school was sanitized, and all the teachers continued to follow the mask mandate.After realizing that our daughter missed school, we eased our daughter into the half-day program post-pandemic and quickly transitioned to a full-day program. Thanks to Ms. Alifiya and Ms. Anu for helping all the kids and the parents ride through the storm.Huge should out to Ms. Anu Ms. Kazi for their love and empathy towards the kids. We are so grateful we found this school community!”

“loving it so far. Its been a month and no complains. Teachers are nice and het updates. Get pictures on the app and acitivites seem to be good too. Mainly its clean. App could be little better. And so as their checkin checkout could be smoother but you drop your kid in a room and they are happy which is what matters”
